Devastating Health Effects Of Soy

DANGERS OF SOY

There is no Joy in Soy! Many people know soy is bad for their health but can not tell you too much on why that is. Also many people are not convinced enough to give it up. Here on my blog are facts on the toxic effects of soy that may even surprise a avid health enthusiast!

Here is some quotes that stuck out for me when reading about soy from different articles I listed below.

"a baby fed soy will receive, through the phytoestrogens, the equivalent of approximately 5 birth control pills per day"

"Beware of The Toxicity of Soy Products … Hundreds of epidemiological, clinical and laboratory studies link soy to malnutrition, digestive distress, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders, cognitive, immune system breakdown, and even heart disease and cancer."

"Soy also contains goitrogens
 - substances that depress thyroid function. Soybeans are high in phytic acid, present in the bran or hulls of all seeds. It's a substance that can block the uptake of essential minerals - calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and especially zinc - in the intestinal tract. Although not a household word, phytic acid has been extensively studied; there are literally hundreds of articles on the effects of phytic acid in the current scientific literature. Scientists are in general agreement that grain- and legume-based diets high in phytates contribute to widespread mineral deficiencies in third world countries.15 Analysis shows that calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc are present in the plant foods eaten in these areas, but the high phytate content of soy- and grain-based diets prevents their absorption."

(Soy) "Complaints include chronic and painful constipation alternating with debilitating diarrhea, vomiting after eating, sharp pains in the digestive tract, especially after consuming soy, passing out, heart palpitations, rashes, acne, insomnia, panic attacks, insomnia, depression and symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as low body temperature (feeling cold all the time), brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, frequent infections and enlarged thyroid gland. Since soy contains anti-fertility compounds, many young prisoners may be unable to father children after their release"

"Production takes place in industrial factories where a slurry of soy beans is first mixed with an alkaline solution to remove fibre, then precipitated and separated using an acid wash and, finally, neutralised in an alkaline solution. Acid washing in aluminium tanks leaches high levels of aluminium into the final product. "


"soybean contains large quantities of natural toxins or "anti-nutrients". First among them are potent enzyme inhibitors that block the action of trypsin and other enzymes needed for protein digestion. These inhibitors are large, tightly folded proteins that are not completely deactivated during ordinary cooking. They can produce serious gastric distress, reduced protein digestion and chronic deficiencies in amino acid uptake. In test animals, diets high in trypsin inhibitors cause enlargement and pathological conditions of the pancreas, including cancer.14"

" { Soy feeds - fertilizes - cancer cells, “causing” them to grow !!. }--Recommending soy to a cancer patient is like giving them as automatic death sentence."

"Soybeans also contain haemagglutinin, a clot-promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together. Trypsin inhibitors and haemagglutinin are growth inhibitors. Weanling rats fed soy containing these antinutrients fail to grow normally. Growth-depressant compounds are deactivated during the process of fermentation, so once the Chinese discovered"

"64 Those participants who consumed tofu in mid-life had lower cognitive function in late life and a greater incidence of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. "

Soy Stimulates breast cancer growth.  Yes !!.

"soy has never been a staple in Asia. A study of the history of soy use in Asia shows that the poor used it during times of extreme food shortage, and only when the soybeans were carefully prepared (e.g. by lengthy fermentation) to destroy the soy toxins."


"Yet, in 1996, researchers found that women consuming soy protein isolate had an increased incidence of epithelial hyperplasia, a condition that presages malignancies.45 A year later, dietary genistein was found to stimulate breast cells to enter the cell cycle - a discovery that led the study authors to conclude that women should not consume soy products to prevent breast cancer.46"

"Dr Fitzpatrick's literature review uncovered evidence that soy consumption has been linked to numerous disorders, including infertility, increased cancer and infantile leukaemia; and, in studies dating back to the 1950s,48 that genistein in soy causes endocrine disruption in animals."          

 If you have stomach problems or gastrointestinal problems, a new study led by Dr. Judy Carman may help explain why: pigs fed a diet of genetically engineered soy and corn showed a 267% increase in severe stomach inflammation compared to those fed non-GMO diets. In males, the difference was even more pronounced: a 400% increase. (For the record, most autistic children are males, and nearly all of them have severe intestinal inflammation.)

Soy was the major contributing cause of my wife Deanna-(Deonaa) death from Breast cancer, Bone cancer, and Liver cancer on Dec. 15, 2002.

Soy Blocks Vitamin and Mineral Absorption

Studies indicate that soy (organic and non-organic) causes increased requirements for vitamins E, K, D and B12. Phytic acid from SPI blocks the absorption of essential minerals and creates deficiency symptoms of calcium, magnesium, copper, molybdenum, iron, manganese and especially zinc - in the intestinal tract. (2) This may be contributing to the early onset of osteoporosis in Japan, starting there as early as age 20 versus age 34 in the

USA. (1b,3) Also test animals fed SPI developed enlarged organs, particularly the thyroid gland and pancreas, and caused increased deposition of fatty acids in the liver.

Soybeans have one of the highest phytate levels of any grain or legume. Phytates in soy are highly resistant to normal phytate-reducing techniques such as long, slow cooking. Only long periods of fermentation will greatly reduce soy's phytate levels, but will not eliminate them. .

Soy Has Natural Toxins or Anti-nutrients

Soybeans contain potent enzyme inhibitors that block the action of trypsin and other enzymes needed for protein digestion. These inhibitors are not completely deactivated during ordinary cooking. They can produce serious gastric distress, reduced protein digestion and create chronic defi- ciencies in amino acid uptakes. In test animals, diets high in trypsin inhibitors also caused enlargement and pathologi- cal conditions of the pancreas, including cancer. (1,3,6,8)

Soy contains haemaglutinin, which is a clot-promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together, setting the stage for clogged arteries and stroke.

Endocrine-disrupting isoflavones, genistein and daidzein are naturally occurring goitrogenic components found in soy. In vitro and in vivo studies document isoflavones inhibiting the synthesis of estradiol and other steroid hormones. Infertility, reproductive problems, thyroid and liver disease due to dietary intake of isoflavones have been observed for several species of animals including mice, cheetah, quail, pigs, rats, sturgeon and sheep. (1.a,3,6)

100 grams of soy protein - the maximum suggested cholesterol lowering dose - can contain almost 600mg of isoflavones, an undeniably toxic amount. Only 45 mg
of isoflavones taken daily for one month, in pre- menopausal women, reduced hormones needed for adequate thyroid function. In some of the women, these effects lingered for 3 months after soy consumption was discontinued.

The Swiss Health Service, in 1992, estimated that 100 grams of soy protein provides the estrogenic equivalent of one birth control pill. (1.a,3,6)

Asians throughout the world have high rates of thyroid cancer. Japanese researchers reported in 1991 that consumption of as little as 30 grams or 2 tablespoons of soybeans per day for only one month resulted in a significant decrease in thyroid-stimulating hormone. Japanese and Asians eat soy in very small amounts, as a condiment (seasoning), not as a protein substitute and not as a replacement for animal foods. (1.a,3,6,8)

Processing of Soy Adds Even More Toxins

Much soy is acid washed in aluminum tanks, leaching high levels of aluminum into the final product. Nitrites, potent carcinogens, are formed during spray-drying, and toxic lysinoalanine is formed during alkaline processing. Arti- ficial flavourings, particularly MSG are added to SPI and textured vegetable protein (TVP) products to mask their strong, "beany" taste and to impart the flavor of meat. (3,9)

Cancer and DNA Damage

Soy is carcinogenic, causing cancer cells to grow and non- cancerous tumours to turn cancerous. (3,6,8) Thousands of women are now consuming soy in the belief that it protects them against breast cancer. Yet in 1996, researchers found that women consuming soy protein isolate (SPI) had an increased incidence of epithelial hyperplasia, a condition that preceded malignancies. Genistein and diadzein stimulate breast cells to enter the breast cancer cycle.( 3,6,8) Since 1989soy has been known to cause DNA damage, chromosome fragmentation and errors in chromosome orientation. (3,6,8) Pregnant women who eat soy products are at an increase risk for breast cancer. (3,4,6,8)

Soy advertisers collectively claim lower rates of reproductive cancers for Japanese and Asians eating soy, while ignoring the fact that these people also have much higher rates of cancer of the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas and thyroid, particularly as soy causes these same types of cancer in laboratory test animals(1,3,6,8)
.

Brain and Nervous System Damage

Genistein destroys the myelin sheath surrounding the nerves, spinal cord, and brain cell tissue...one cause of Alzheimer’s- Parkinson’s disease, & learning disabilities ADD-ADHD.(3,6,8)

Japanese Americans living in Hawaii show a significant statistical relationship between two or more servings of tofu

a week and accelerated brain aging (atrophy). In another study, those eating tofu in mid-life experienced greater incidence of Parkinson’s / Alzheimer's disease, dementia, lowered cognitive function, and looked older in later life. (1.a,3,6,8,9)

Soy Infant Formula

Daily exposure of infants to isoflavones in soy infant formula is 6 to 11 times higher on body-weight basis than the dose that has negative hormonal side effects in adults consuming soy foods. ( 1.a,3,6,8,9 )

Approximately 25 per cent of bottle-fed children in the US receive soy-based formula - a much higher per cent than in other parts of the Western world. Toxicologist Dr Mike

Fitzpatrick estimated that infants exclusively fed soy formula receive the estrogenic equivalent (based on body weight) of at least 5 birth controls pills per day. By contrast, almost no phyto-estrogens have been detected in dairy-based infant formula or in human milk, even when the mother consumes soy products.

In the 1986 Puerto Rico Premature Thelarche Study, the most significant dietary association with premature sexual development was not chicken, as the press reported, but soy infant formula. (1.a)

Early maturation in girls is frequently an indicator of problems with their reproductive system in later life, including failure to menstruate, infertility, breast cancer and possibly uterine cancer. (3,6,8) Problems in both sexes associated with soy-based infant formula later in life also include extreme emotional behaviour, immune system problems, pituitary insufficiency, irritable bowel syndrome, asthma, thyroid disorders including thyroid problems in babies and infantile leukaemia. (1.a,3,6,8,9,10)

Thyroid Problems

Soy also contains goitrogens - substances that depress thyroid function. Diffuse goiter and hypothyroidism appeared in some of the subjects and many complained of fatigue, lethargy and constipation, even though their intake of iodine was adequate. (3,6,8,9,10)

Soy Warning Labels, for Medical Reasons

In 1999, USA's FDA ignored two of their own expert research scientists, Daniel Sheehan, PhD and Daniel Doerge, PhD,
who expressed serious concerns regarding the perceived
safe use of soy, if soy was to be granted a 'health claim'. In their letter of protest they said, “...it is inappropriate to
